In the corners of the city walls, withered branches and vines are entwined. Bushes and palms grew here, but by the fragments of the moonlight, it was still possible to make out a man-made path that meandered out of the city. The boy walked alone at the front of the group, nimble and skilful in clearing the way for the soldiers.

"Their rotation rarely comes to patrol this section, and the light from the torches shines down, and if you don't look closely, you can't see us hidden in the bushes. Just sneak around to the other side and get through the hole. ”

Angelo pressed his spare infantry sword in one hand and tapped the wall on the left with the other. Judging by the sound of percussion, this section of the wall is not shoddy. Flipping up a few eras, for an army without heavy equipment, it is more than enough to defend the city. Now it's a bit funny that it's about to collapse into a hole that a rat has gnawed on.

"Where are we going to get through that hole you said and then crawl out of it?"

"It's an abandoned stable, honorable master." Although the little boy did not know Angelo's identity in such detail, he could now observe his words and looks, and he could more or less know what kind of people were sitting in the military tent he plunged into, "Master, that stable was originally a shack vacated for the refugees to live in temporarily, but after a small plague broke out in the city, they all died almost completely. So the stables were empty again, and now most of them were left unattended. ”

As he spoke, he could already faintly see the holes under the city walls that had been piled up with stones and covered at will. The entrance to the cave is indeed small, and it is quite inconspicuous when covered by stones. At this time, what the little boy said had become seventy or eighty percent credible. Unless dozens of Ottoman soldiers crouched inside the hole, Giovanni and Angelo could already imagine the fruits of the battle.

"Brought the ringing arrows, right?"

"There are two shots in total, one shot is a feint, and two shots are a strong attack."

This was Giovanniliu's back road and the signal for the siege. Although from the outside, it seems that the Empire's unfinished camp has been extinguished, and only a few sentry posts are still patrolling. But in reality, every soldier in the camp was wearing armor and sword, patiently waiting for orders.

Similar large-scale encampments will give the defenders a mental illusion that the siege will fall into a protracted battle. Then they waited quietly for supplies to increase their numbers, and finally abandoned the city and fled. Perhaps in the eyes of the Ottomans, they had already survived the first wave of the Romans' most rapid, lightning-like attack, and then it would be a little easier. It's just that a few more people are on duty.

……

"Marti won't give us any more food, I heard that there are wars everywhere now, where to take care of our side, seeing the menacing appearance of the Romans, most of them are preparing to fight all the way north. How could we, the hundreds of us, be stopped. ”

"Every time he takes food, he can only eat one meal a day when he comes to us, and Allah curses him!"

"Okay, take the money tonight, let's quickly withdraw from here, get to Ankara, and find a few more broken mouthed girls to be good at it!"

The two night guards walked outside the stable, looked around nervously for a while, but in a moment they extinguished the torches in their hands.

One of Giovanni's soldiers was stuck uncomfortably and immediately stopped when he heard the noise.

After a small cracking sound, the wooden gate of the stable, which was not very sturdy, was opened from the outside. It's just that at this time it was still pitch black in the stable. The two guards on night duty did not notice anything unusual. 400

There were a large number of musty haystacks in the stable, and Angelo and the little boy, who had come in first, were hiding behind one of the haystacks, and the moonlight projected only a small bunch, and they could only see an outline when they looked at the two guards.

After making sure there was no other threat behind them, Angelo made a silent gesture to the little boy, and then drew his unsheathed sword.

"I've tied a horse to the south, and we'll just ...... What was that? ”

Although the guards stuck in the entrance of the cave did not make any moves, the abruptly stretched hole still peeled off the ash and gravel from the wall skin. It's just that the Ottoman soldiers who have ghosts in their hearts are also scared enough.

At this time, there was only a half-man-high manger barrier between the entrance and the gate, and even if the two Ottomans were blind, they could see the soldiers stuck at the entrance of the cave even if they passed another corner.

"It should be rats," the still nervous Ottoman slowly lowered his hand that had already grasped the hilt of his sword, "those old fellows won't have the heart to steal when the Romans are besieging the city...... I said, brother, what about what you stole from? ”

"Brother...... Brothers? The Ottomans tried to touch two pieces of jerky from their companion's sack, but when they turned around, a sword was already against his neck.

Instinctively, he wanted to shout loudly to get the attention of the other patrol guards, but in the next second, his mouth was also gagged tightly. His companion, on the other hand, had fallen to the side, blood splattered from the severed throat and sprayed unreservedly onto his armor.

"You should feel honored, maybe you are the first pagan soldier to admire the night of the broken city."

After the little boy's intimate translation, the Ottomans' eyes were filled with horror. His best plan was a group of robbers who had come to make war money, but the fact that the Romans could touch this secret passage meant that Cesme's defenses were useless.

"Now, give you a chance to live. Take my soldiers up to the walls and put down the hinges. Otherwise, you've seen the fate of your companions. ”

"Uh-oh-" The Ottoman was obviously unofficial in the barracks, and it was a fool's dream to get him to approach the gates at this tense moment, but it was clear who was more important to the Ottoman Empire than his name. As long as you can get out now, the probability of surviving by then will be several percent higher.

So, he immediately nodded his head quite diligently, hoping to get a chance to escape.

"Forget it, Angelo, it's more reliable than him to let this little guy lead the way to the shed and pull two civilian refugees at random. We can pull the arrows at any time and launch a strong attack, and it is more than enough to risk opening the gates, so we might as well figure out how to surprise the Ottomans without being detected. Giovanni refastened the lock on his armor and patted the Ottoman on the shoulder.

He didn't understand Greek, but with a smile of hope, Angelo asked him to die with precision.

"Alright guys, get ready."
